Power System Operation Cost Optimal Location

Abstract

 For voltage control and system 
stability, reactive power is essential. Electric 
power systems use a variety of Volt/VAR 
techniques to keep the voltage profile within a 
predetermined, acceptable range, providing 
stability, reliability, and economic benefits. 
Reactive power has traditionally been generated 
by large-scale synchronous generators or 
distributed capacitor banks to allow proper 
transmission and distribution level system 
management, while it may also be used to 
reduce overall system running costs. The 
expenses related to acquiring and using fuel to 
generate electricity in power plants are referred
